Show II li, J. P. Meakin is delivering a series of lectures i II in the east on the Mormon question and likewise ; J! having himself interviewed on the subject in ! HI prominent eastern papers. A recent interview I M with the lecturer and declaimer appeared in the ! w New York American, to which paper he gave , ii, some very valuable information upon local con- li ditions. It appears to be Mr Meakin's mission in j i jj B the east to prove that the Mormons do not prac- k tice polygamy, that they are very law-abiding and ' nP patriotic, and in general to fill the columns of i 111 eastern newspapers with the purport of some of if Apostle Penrose's editorials. From the amout llj of space Mr Meakin is able to secure in eastern J Ij newspapers, he must be one of the highest salaried L ij officials on the church payroll. |
